    This sermon looks at Nicodemus’ ignorance as a religious leader as a springboard for teaching the necessity of the new birth.

    Introduction: One of my favourite stories is of a new pastor was asked to teach a boys class in the absence of their regular Sunday School teacher. He decided at the outset to see what the boys knew and so he asked little Johnny during Bible class who broke down the walls of Jericho. Little Johnny ...read more

    We’ve all heard and used the phrase "Born Again" but just exactly what does that mean?

    Born Again Born Again! What a neat, overused, misused, abused, redundant, nonmeaningful term. If you google “Born Again Celebrities” you get a wide range of folks. Some like Amy Grant and Johnny Cash you might suspect, others like Mr. T I had forgotten about. I had heard that Jane Fonda had ...read more

    New Life For A Dead Man

    Contributed by Johnny Carver on Apr 28, 2007
    based on 6 ratings
     | 2,558 views

    This sermon deals with the born again experience which seems to have lost its place among much of the sermons of our day. Because there seems to be such a need for the "help" type of preaching for the troubled lives of church attenders.

    Scripture: John 3:1 – Title: “NEW LIFE FOR A DEAD MAN” Introduction: The title of the message may sound a little shocking, but it couldn’t be truer. In 2:23 we are told that the people’s faith had been awakened by the miracles they saw Jesus perform. In the last few verses of chapter 2 we are ...read more

    This is a salvation message taken from John 3.

    “YE MUST BE BORN AGAIN!” TEXT: John 3:1-15; Romans 5:12; cf. Leviticus 12 W. Max Alderman The Lord as we sometimes say, “Got to the crux of the matter” when He said, “Ye Must be born again…” Today, we shall consider the importance of the new birth.

    Being Born From Above

    Contributed by Gaither Bailey on Feb 29, 2008
     | 2,492 views

    Jesus tells Nicodemus that he must be willing to be changed into the person God would have him be. And I believe what Jesus said to Nicodemus applies to families and churches as well as to individuals.

    Being Born From Above – John 3: 1 - 17 Intro: 3 men died and were standing at the pearly gates. “What have you done to deserve heaven?” asked Peter. The 1st man, a police officer, said, “I enforced the law and fought crime.” Peter said, “OK, go on in.” The 2nd was a wealthy man who said, “I ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 4,339 views

    The only thing we bring to salvation is simply “We Believe.” Why don’t some believe? 1)Some people know, but don’t believe, and 2)Some people won’t believe because they don’t want to know. ..excellent illustration about our helplessness/God’s strength
